Best antihistamines natural/chemical
-
Hello, I would like that you bring your best antihistamine either naturally for example chamomile or chemically cypro to the table to reduce the symptoms of sneezing, difficulty breathing cough etc.
And then some people here remember the user redsun from RPF he suggested several supps like zinc, b6 etc to clear histamine from the body.
Or something like TMG, SAM-e etc.So I would like to hear your best remedies and maybe some protocols to overcome histamine reactions with clearing once and for all.
My best remedy is Zyrtce/Cetirizin but the problem is Ray mentioning some studies with liver toxicity. I think for couple of weeks it would be okay but looking out for my allergies from greasses and hayfever will run from april til september maybe so this would be too long to use.
And the half life is only 8 hours and you can only use one pill, so you can decide either to be free of symptoms on work or for sleepTHANKS GUYS

Here's some diet clues to help reduce the histamine load that the body has to deal with/metabolise. I think major sources of histamine are hard (matured) cheeses, seafood, fermented foods (eg sauerkraut) and some vegetables (eg spinach, tomatoes).

@Mr-X
Decades ago I had never had any hayfever or allergy symptoms, and then one day, in the early 1990s it hit me, as in heavy pollen was in the air in Springtime near Portland, Oregon, and I was quite abruptly with runny nose, heaps of phlegm, eyes watering, and strong sneezing. And I was driving in bumper to bumper traffic on a Friday arvo (afternoon). So naturally I tried everything, and hit or miss, and the most natural remedies that worked that year were TCM herbal formulas, Gan Mao Ling, and Er Chen Wan. In that order of usefullness. Since then I have also used zyrtec and it worked. For over 10 years now it has not worked for me. Only cypro, and I even tried zyrtec 2 years ago when the pollen was bad, and nothing - no relief. So, yes try and see what works, and be flexible if it doesn't.
Also do salt water cleansing if you have blocked nasal passages, rhinitis, like neti pot. I just 'snurf' warm salt water myself, over a suitable sink.
Good luck. -
@AkJono I had a couple of days ago 2g Vitamin C, 10mg B6 P5P and had like a hefty storm of histamine and serotonin the following days. Today is okay again, the good thing is I know it def worked for me to release and get rid of a lot of histamine. I was coughing some heavy clumps out my lung which were not there since yesterday
and now I can breathe more deeply. But Im feel dull, anhedonic, no motivation, brain fog no good sleep like sleeping with the eyes open still today. I will do this a couple of times in the future on weekends because im out for 2 days after this. But I think this the only long term solution, cypro or other antihistamines only masks the problems. I upped also my NDT dose I think this in combo with vitamin c, b6 & zinc will help to lower my histamine load in the future -
@Mr-X
Long-term also, eating less pro-histamine foods can help lower the histamine load. -

@wrl u dont understand my goal, the goal is that histamine dont have an impact on your life either from allergies or from food. Like u never heard about histamine in your life before, because your body is so good at handling it that u dont have to worry about it. Eating low histamine foods is just a bandaid to mask the symptoms

@Mr-X yes true... but, until your histamine processing stabilises (in a biochemical sense) and the symptoms you mentioned caused by histamine stop, it could help to temporarily reduce the bodies histamine load. So I am reffering to short-term histamine burden relief.

I suspect chronic allergy problems can be caused by parathyroid dysfunction and / or low cortisol. When I had allergy issues that just progressively got worse, I found through blood testing that I had sub-optimal Vitamin D levels. When I normalized my Vitamin D levels through supplementation, my allergy problems practically disappeared for years, only to finally resurface now the past couple of weeks.
My theory is that if Vitamin D is low, calcium absorption in the gut is poor, and parathyroid has to release hormone to stabilize blood calcium levels. I believe this hormone is linked to mast cell activation.
My other theory is that low cortisol can cause allergies to go berserk, but I don't have much evidence to go on for that other than feels.
